Dr. Chad Matone, D.D.S., helping people live healthier lives has long been both a passion and profession. A native of Decatur, Illinois Chad graduated from the University of Central Arkansas and graduated Summa Cum Laude, ranking Honor Graduate, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Health Science and a Master’s in Physical Therapy.

He worked four years as a physical therapist, becoming the Director of Rehab at a long-term care facility in Arkansas. Assisting individuals regain their strength and mobility proved rewarding and inspiring as he moved between out-patient and in-home care. In working with individuals from a variety of backgrounds and experiences, Dr. Matone quickly recognized that oral health – from physical pain to the struggles with eating and speaking – was a pressing concern.

Dr. Matone went to the University of Tennessee Dental School in 2002. He received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 2006, receiving the Cecily W. Tipton Award for Outstanding Academic Achievement. He has practiced dentistry throughout Arkansas in a variety of communities including Brinkley, Hot Springs, and Little Rock. In 2014, he established Arkansas Dental Centers as a way to bring various dental practices and partnerships into one collaborative group.
